Towels Anyone use these pads?

I use the twin size pads under the fleece that covers the whole cage, then I have smaller pads(2 layers of flannel sewn to the bottom of the fleece) that are easy to change out every day or so. I have the small fleece pads in the high traffic area. I only have to change out the total fleece liner every 2 weeks but that's because it usally doesn't get wet.

Thanks, that's a good idea to make a smaller pad for the high pee areas. My guy seems to pee in one corner so that's helpful

I ended up getting one that was 27 x 52 (or close to that) but I just got mine in the mail. It was only $12 and it's supposed to hold 1800ccs of liquid. I still need to get the fleece cover sewn up. That's my plan for the weekend!
Luckily, my guy only pees in his hay box (knock on wood) but I'm sure I won't be so lucky with his new buddy we are waiting to get.

If there like the hospital pads I use them under fleece in free time to protect my wood floors (if there my room) or if there upstair to protect the carpet.. They know only to pee on them not the carpet.. I never did train them but they just have always done it since Mandy was 8 weeks old and when Cupcake she did the same.. 2 smart piggies I have..

@Guinea_lover327 I love using the pads under my main fleece that covers the whole cage. It's easy to wash because it's not attached to the fleece(so it's not as bulky) and they don't get stinky. But like I said before, I also have small fleece with 2 layers of flannel sewn together that are changed out every other day.

I use chux pads in my cage. I like how thin and absorbent they are!

Do you use the disposable ones or the washable ones.

I use washable hospital chux pads.

I'm not sure, I've never cut any of mine up. I just use fleece and flannel to make cuddle cups and sacks.

I use them or something similar. I got a bunch free from my medical supplier (Im a nurse). He got the company to send me a whole case as a "free sample". Not sure if they are the same brand or not or the same absorbency rating, but mine are pink too and work great. I put them under the fleece and nothing gets through to the coroplast.

Mine are the washable kind. I have not cut them to use them Ezra any sewing projects because I don't sew. I prefer NOT to sew them to my fleece because they are a little bulky and I prefer to separate bulky things into separate loads so my washes doesn't get stressed too much.

I bought one that I think was the size of a bed and they cut and it seem not to leek. The ones I buy are the ones they use in hospitals.

A case isn't as big as it sounds. I think there were like eight or something in there and I gave a few to a local rescue. Maybe next time lol

I just wanted to report back that I've used this pad (broken link removed) for 2 weeks and it worked really well. I did not attach the fleece to it, I just laid the pad in the bottom and clipped the fleece to the sides with binder clips.

The pad absorbed well and washed up easy. It dried fast too-I think I just put it on medium heat for 40 min.
For $12 it's a great deal IMO.

ETA-the first week was just for 1 pig, but the second week it was for 2 pigs and it definitely was covered with pee! But no leaks on the coro at all-not even the corners.
